What does the Bible say about God's purpose in election?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God's purpose in election is to sovereignly choose His people for salvation based on His grace alone.

God's purpose in election is rooted in His sovereign will and grace, as outlined in Romans 11. The apostle Paul explains that God has not cast off all of Israel but has preserved a remnant of elect individuals chosen by grace. This election is not based on human merits or race, but according to God's eternal purpose to call His people to faith, as affirmed in Ephesians 1:4-5. By utilizing the unbelief of some, God sovereignly orchestrates the plan of salvation for His elect among both Jews and Gentiles, ensuring that all whom He has chosen will come to faith in Christ as per His righteous and holy nature.
